I have a simple PAM8403 that I use to amplify sound,
The volume switch also works as power-off, if I slide it all the way down it makes a click and its off.
My girlfriend is the user of this device and she often forgets to turn it off because its easy to overlook, therefore I want to add a LED that lights up when its on and off when its off.
How would I go about customizing it to achieve that?

So you need to detect when two pins of a variable resistor have near-zero voltage between them? And the existing voltage will be the audio signal. I'd impose a DC current (assuming the downstream amplifier can accept a (tiny) DC input, and then monitor the voltage for the presence and absence of any DC.

Measure the supply voltage pin of the PAM8403. The supply voltage should be switched on and off the switch. You can just solder an LED with a resistor in series from this pin to GND.
Depending on the color of your LED you have to choose the correct resistor.
